Trust your teens (Score 1)

Teenagers live to circumvent rules. Any parental control you place on the Internet simply provides them something to circumvent, and they will. The ONLY effective means to keep your teens from undesirable sites is threefold. 1.) Raise your kids right, be involved in their activities, be INTERESTED in them. 2.) Let them know how sad and dissapointed you will feel if you find that they have visited and spent time at an undesirable site. Most teens do want to please their parents. 3.) TRUST your teen. Let them shut the door when they are on-line. Don't get angry or spooked if they suddenly shut a bunch of stuff down when you walk by. DO expect that they will avoid undesirable sites and recognize that they will, from time to time (usually by accident) open an undesirable site. Most teens will live up to and deserve your trust. Those that don't, well you can console yourself that you will not beable to control their Internet access anyway.
